@@TyeArtisik I was always interested in fame and show business from a very young age. My parents always encouraged me. My dad was a musician. He was in a band and they used to travel abroad and be quite successful. But they would never ever have ever have made me do anything that I didn't want to do. But it really makes me feel at this time in my life that the only reason why they were like that at the time is because they just cared about me.
It’s so tragic that she died a sick underweight drug-dependent woman who just wanted love and acceptance 😢. Is that too much to ask?! She deserves all the love and respect

This situation goes beyond Judy. This was a time when thin was in, and because females are known to gain weight quicker than men, the studios would put them on a strict diet. Like with the male actors, they would also give them pills to keep working. Judy wasn't the only one who fell victim to this vicious cycle. Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Rooney, and Elizabeth Taylor also fell victim to it. It was a problem well beyond MGM and I'm so glad we don't have that destructive system anymore.
Poor beautiful Judy 😞 I idolized Dorothy my whole childhood. I wish my mom (🌹) could watch this video with me, she hand sewed me a Dorothy dress when I was little and I wore it even into my teens!! So many beautiful memories created by this iconic woman
Wizard of oz was one of my favorites when I was young and I remember thinking that not only did I love her and her voice, I thought she was so pretty. I'm surprised years later to find out that she was so criticised for her looks.
I feel that they could, but it depends on how it's done. Kids can love acting and it can give them a future career in acting and preforming in which the child may love. Also let's not forget that some shows and movies need child actors to play child roles. But when it comes to a parent forcing their child to work as an actor, that's a big no and something that should be illegal as in some way, it has the same vibe as underground child sex trafficking videos where they force children to star in them. But without the sexual abuse part. Also if a child wants to quit the acting job they consensualy signed up for, they should have the right to do so.
Watched Judy the other night, never cried at the ending so hard. RIP Judy Garland! You will be missed dearly!! Never have I wanted so badly to punch those who did those terrible things to her. She didn’t deserve any of it.
Breaks my heart. No one deserves to be treated like this! And to think she entertained America at the expense of her own pain and they still tried to paint her out to be a monster. I'm utterly disgusted
It wasn't just the children that were exploited, the actresses themselves were as well. They were treated as sex objects by the top brass of the studio. It was a horrid system and you really should do a serious deep dive. This rabbit hole on this is VERY deep!
The fact that child exploitation has always existed in Hollywood is disgusting. Shirley Temple also went through something similar at a younger age. Hearing what she went through with that creepy man @5:30 was heartbreaking. I went through the same, but with a doctor instead. When I asked questions, he’d tell me it was normal and not to worry. I always knew it was wrong, something in my gut told me so. However, a person of power was telling me to trust them. It’s something you never forget. You learn to live with it.
Lord have mercy May God bless you and keep you! My heart weeps for what you have endured 😢 From one sexual abuse survivor to another you are already OVERCOME!!!! Your story is powerful. I'm so sorry someone took advantage of you love im so very sorry ❤️ sending you love lots of love you are awesome and a survivor!!!!! Love you❤️
Poor Judy, my heart always bleeds for her and how awfully she was treated. Please do a deep dive with MGM, I'm sick of these people staying hushed because 'reputation' and all those that enable these producers and all the rest. Expose those monsters!

I have a copy of "her" book that is referenced in that interview... It is SO dark... She does so well to have a good sense of humor about everything but, everyone was SO awful to her... The correlation between her, Marilyn Monroe and Britney Spears and any other successful female celebrity is absolutely awful. Thanks for telling her story, Sloan!

She is a perfect example of how parents are to blame for how their kids turn out. Parents have the BIGGEST influence on their kids, and the fact that Judy wasn’t treated so horribly by her mother is where it all started.
This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever heard. It just shows how cruel we can be as humans. They took this poor girl and exploited her until she lost touch with reality and left her to wonder the streets homeless, addicted and with mental issues.
Thank you for sharing Judy's tragically sad story. She was an amazing actress and singer, yet lived such an awful life because of the people who exploited her, including her own mother. Please share Shirley Temple's story in the future, if you wish.
I never judge people who suffer with addiction of any kind. You never know what someone is battling with, it could be sexual abuse, physical and mental abuse, anything. Especially back then, you were told it was ok for you to take all these different kinds of drugs/prescriptions. I just pray for people who suffer with addiction. You can get help, you can always try💙
When Judy sings Somewhere Over The Rainbow, I always think of the last line and what she must’ve felt like. “If happy little blue birds fly, beyond the rainbow, why oh why, can’t I?”
They tried to destroy Shirley temple but they weren't able to, she went and made a name for herself outside of her acting, became a US ambassador ffs, and lived a long ass life!
I love your videos on former child stars like Judy Garland because it always blows my mind how twisted things really are behind the scenes for these children.

They said the same thing to every Hollywood star of that era. Women were sex objects to men and nothing more. Hedy Lamar was ripped to shreds when she aged. They had no mercy or respect for women.
This is one of the saddest stories I've ever seen. She married handlers. She was abused and violated. Had Marilyn Monroe survived to an older age I believe she would have outed so much and so many. Which is exactly why she's not here.
You forgot to mention that Judy had a great relationship with her dad. When she talked about her dad, she never had a bad thing to say about him. In fact, she said she was the only one who was on her side. Unlike her mother, her father didn't force her into the business. He would always tell Judy if she wanted to not go into show business, she doesn't have to (unfortunately, he got overruled by her mother). So while Judy did have an unhappy childhood, at least she got a loving father. Also, A Star is Born wasn't a hit until years later. At the time, it was an absolute flop, mainly because they had to edit it down due to the long 3 hour running time.
One thing that Judy and her children would let everyone know was that she would never declare her life as tragedy. She would always keep her optimism up and say her children were her greatest accomplishments in life
She was also very funny- none other than Lucille Ball called her the funniest woman in Hollywood. She liked to have a good time and didn't wallow in self pity.
I hated how my mom used poor actresses like this to push me to "stop having am eating disorder" I empathize so hard. Princess Diana was also "used" against me. Later in life this has effected me and is a constant narrative in my head that I'm not good enough and need things to make me "enough." Thanks Sloan for these videos.
@ Sora Melen How awful. I’m sorry you went through that. It was unnecessary of your own mother to do that. She saw you true potential and that worsened her insecurities. I hope that your life will get better in time. Please remember that you ARE enough. In fact you’ve always been too much ( in a good way). Your enemies have known it from the beginning. But let that be their problem.✨🤍
I also had a father who used Judy to prevent me from taking adderall for adhd. I struggled in school and only got by. As an adult im diagnosed with adhd and bipolar disorder. Luckily my doctor is fully aware of my weight issues and heavily monitors me.
@@torturedghostandtaykefligh7116 this is for you and the OC- I know they went the wrong away about it, but I think your parents loved you so much they wanted to keep you from the harm Judy suffered.

As a recovering addict I take full responsibility for my addiction that started over 20 yrs ago. I made my choices and I've been trying to get help for more than 15 yrs but lack of insurance has made it impossible and getting insurance with a pre existing illness is so costly. If help is that hard for me a nobody to find, I cannot imagine the life this woman endured. Being in the spot light, always having to be perfect and living day to day in such an abusive situation. Sadly this kind of shit goes on constantly. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from addiction and abuse that cannot find help (bc help is not as easy to get as your told) especially those not old enough or are to afraid to speak up.
Sloan, I’d love to see you do some old Hollywood videos. It’s absolutely insane what used to be considered “normal” and it’s so obvious how we’re still stuck in that culture and trying so hard to get out of it.
Same here. Rita Hayworth’s life was pretty sad too. James Dean had a really fucked childhood, and although his adult life wasn’t too tragic, reading about his romance with Pier Angeli was a “what the fuck” moment for me. Pier Angeli’s life too was pretty sad- she had a horrible mom.
@@jilliank6379 ikr??? rita ended up with Alzheimer's & she was manipulated by men who left her impoverished. i dont think that fame is worth all the heartache. 💔
Yes Slo4n, you're right. Its been almost 100 years since since Judy Garland has grown up in Tinsletown and not much has changed in the Industry. They should be called out and held accountable. They have ruined countless children stars lives, and it needs to stop. When I was kid, my biggest dream was to be rich and famous, now as an adult, knowing everything that child stars have gone through, I'm so glad i never became a household name and all the horrors that go along with it.
This is so sad. I was aware of some of this, but had no idea how much she went through at such a young age. It’s amazing how she stayed so elegant and graceful until her death
She had such a sad life but with respect, I can understand her children reaching a point where they wanted some space and not to take care of her. Still, it's sad they had issues (despite loving each other) and judy was so alone to the point she had to sleep on the couches of fans. I hope her last husband was a comfort to her. I'm glad her children have spoken so lovingly of her since and that she has definately achieved respect from people since her death.
I feel so, so sad about Judy Garland. I've heard about her before- and everything that she went through. She still sounded, though ,that she was still on drugs when she was an adult. That is so sad. Thank you so much for describing everything in the way that you do. You are absolutely articulate in the way that you describe everything exactly as it should be. You are brilliant . Thank you. I constantly find myself at your channel. I would really like you to do one about Frances Farmer.
I actually read a biography about her when I was about 20 years old. It was so horrible what she went through. There’s so much more. Her mother would pretend to leave her when she was a child- like literally leave her in a hotel room and tell her she was leaving her only to come back a few hours later and act like it was all of a joke. She was never fully in control of her money either. It’s all insane!
Thank you for covering this tragic story! Judy's story breaks my heart. You explain everything so well...I always look forward to a new video from you ♥
So sad! Truly but she was such a fighter although for some it may not seem that way. It takes a lot to keep pushing despite everything she went through. I can only imagine! Thank you for bringing her story to light. I never knew this about her.
It’s crazy how similar her life and death is to Michael Jackson....Michael oftentimes spoke about how no one will never be able to understand what it’s like to be a child star unless if u were one yourself
I lost my dad on March last year, this channel has given since a feel of comfort and familiarity even Sloan speaks about delicate topics. Thanks a lot Sloan for giving me with your videos and the way you are some evasion and peace.
Thank you for covering this. 😢 This is heartbreaking. Yes! Please do MGM . This why body positivity is so important . 😞. People try to act like it’s all about health. But she was not healthy . They literally starved her . To make her look how “They “ wanted her to look.
SL04N, you are such a sweet UA-camr, I love the kind things you said about Judy at the end of this video. Your videos, while breaking my heart also really have opened my eyes to how abusive Hollywood is to child stars. It’s so sad. 🥺😭💔 But it’s comforting to know that just like there are horrid people in the world, there are also people like you who are kind. So, thank you for this video!
This Poor Child, it's a miracle she survived!! My take on this is, neither parent wanted her AT ALL, so they felt if she must be born they would use her any way they could for as long as they could and because this was so obvious to all around, they too did the same thing. She was not acknowledged as a human, she was never treated with love and empathy. I had a similar experience growing up but no where near to this degree. My heart goes out to her as it must have affected every aspect of her life till the day she died❤
Amazing storytelling Sloan, thank you for your content. Not biased, not vulgar, not forced.... keep up with any topic you're interested ❤️❤️❤️ greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻
I absolutely love Judy Garland. I watched all her movies when I was a kid. I would love to see a video on MGM, they did so much shady stuff back in the day.
When I was 4 years old I first watched the wizard of oz- became my favorite movie ever! When I was 6 my mom told me the truth and told me she died from drugs- it shattered my world. Judy still is my idol because she through it all, always managed to be thankful and grateful to her fans. She had more talent in her pinky than the 'stars' of today have in their whole body!
God bless you for this.. thank you for bringing awareness to these situations!! Someone like myself, who doesn't watch movies or much TV, would never know about these things if it wasn't for you!! THANK YOU SLO4N!!
I'm 59 and have loved Judy Garland since I first saw Wizard of Oz as a child. No one is a better actress/singer. I remember hearing she died on the news when I was only 6. As I got older, I read biographies about her and found out what this beautiful, supremely talented woman went through. Her life was like a Shakespean tragedy. No one should have had to go through what this poor woman did.
Thank you for this amazing documentary. People need to know the cesspool of Hollywood and expose the producers and executives who, abuse and spit out talented individuals like they are nothing to them. Judy Garland was an amazing actress and beautiful soul. Excellent video!
Jesus Christ, she couldn't catch a break. It's so sad bc wizard of oz has always been my favorite ever since I was a baby. She brought us all SO MUCH joy and memories from that movie alone but it sounded like she never had one good or healthy minute for herself 😭 whyyyyy
This is by far one of the best videos you've ever posted, although I do love everything you post 😁 Thanks for all your hard work to bring us this content!
Omg thanks Sloan for covering this MGM had a bad history with their stars and Judy garland is no exceptions. Her voice still breaks my heart when I hear her music 🥺👏
As a kid Judy was my absolute favorite. The wizard of oz is still one of my favorite movies. Her story has always shattered my heart. 💔 She deserved so much better! Also I would definitely love an MGM deep dive !
The fact that the way Judy was treated is the Hollywood Blueprint for child actors and it needs to change. Her family and MGM got too much success from abusing that poor kid like that and that’s why they were able to pull off doing shit like this to Brittany until now. This is a fairly new industry still in a lot of ways Please deep dive MGM. There is good reason Shirley Temple signed with Fox. I actually wish we’d of gotten a movie with Garland and Temple together. They were always made to be competition instead.
So glad u talked about this…in my life in Philly n New York the Bronx…Sony record wanted me n my dad as a strong voice said nooooo…so I became a nurse…but I felt my dad saved my life since I’ve been hearing u talking about this…n my dad passed now cause of covid in 2020…he was my rock…n ppl still want my voice n my songs I write…but I will keep it to me now cause of ur videos n don’t want to be used

"Judy Garland, barely into her 40's, looked 20 years older"
...ouch!!
It’s true tho, all the stuff they put her trough started to unfortunately show in the way she looked, such a sad life. May she rest in peace.
They said the same thing to every Hollywood star of that era. Women were sex objects to men and nothing more. Hedy Lamar was ripped to shreds when she aged. They had no mercy or respect for women.

He would always tell Judy if she wanted to not go into show business, she doesn't have to (unfortunately, he got overruled by her mother). So while Judy did have an unhappy childhood, at least she got a loving father.
Also, A Star is Born wasn't a hit until years later. At the time, it was an absolute flop, mainly because they had to edit it down due to the long 3 hour running time.
Hollywood is so toxic! Poor Judy …. I feel so bad for her. Beautiful and talented woman. The men at that time were so disgusting 🤮
@Liz Pretty Baby Any we thought Hollywood today is bad. The early to mid 1900s was total hell.
One thing that Judy and her children would let everyone know was that she would never declare her life as tragedy. She would always keep her optimism up and say her children were her greatest accomplishments in life
She was also very funny- none other than Lucille Ball called her the funniest woman in Hollywood. She liked to have a good time and didn't wallow in self pity.
What she endured, would have probably killed most of us at a much earlier age. She was a tremendously strong soul. ❤️ 😪❤️
I never knew. What an amazing woman full of resilience.
It’s so endearing when she started giggling with her kids. My heart is breaking! Poor thing! She deserved a good childhood and a good life.
I hated how my mom used poor actresses like this to push me to "stop having am eating disorder"
I empathize so hard. Princess Diana was also "used" against me.
Later in life this has effected me and is a constant narrative in my head that I'm not good enough and need things to make me "enough."
Thanks Sloan for these videos.
So sad I’m sorry you went through that. Hope you’re doing better 🙏🏽
@
Sora Melen How awful. I’m sorry you went through that. It was unnecessary of your own mother to do that. She saw you true potential and that worsened her insecurities. I hope that your life will get better in time. Please remember that you ARE enough. In fact you’ve always been too much ( in a good way). Your enemies have known it from the beginning. But let that be their problem.✨🤍
I also had a father who used Judy to prevent me from taking adderall for adhd. I struggled in school and only got by.
As an adult im diagnosed with adhd and bipolar disorder. Luckily my doctor is fully aware of my weight issues and heavily monitors me.
@@torturedghostandtaykefligh7116 this is for you and the OC- I know they went the wrong away about it, but I think your parents loved you so much they wanted to keep you from the harm Judy suffered. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry for my assumption. They say wise people learn from the suffering of others;your parents took that too far. I hope you're both doing better today. 🙏🏻❤️
Sora YOU ARE ENOUGH. Your here & I'm sure you have a lot to give in this world but just know that being you is more than enough & I hope you're keeping well. Lots of love & positive vibes from Ireland 💚🤍🧡 Paula xx ❤️❤️
As a recovering addict I take full responsibility for my addiction that started over 20 yrs ago. I made my choices and I've been trying to get help for more than 15 yrs but lack of insurance has made it impossible and getting insurance with a pre existing illness is so costly. If help is that hard for me a nobody to find, I cannot imagine the life this woman endured. Being in the spot light, always having to be perfect and living day to day in such an abusive situation. Sadly this kind of shit goes on constantly. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from addiction and abuse that cannot find help (bc help is not as easy to get as your told) especially those not old enough or are to afraid to speak up.
You can’t watch her movies without imagining the pain and sadness she went through inside. Poor girl 🥺😞
I LOVE YOU FOR COVERING HER LIFE OMG She is absolutely my fav actor. What she went through was so terrible, Rest In Peace gorgeous
Sloan, I’d love to see you do some old Hollywood videos. It’s absolutely insane what used to be considered “normal” and it’s so obvious how we’re still stuck in that culture and trying so hard to get out of it.
Yes! I’d love to see Old Hollywood too,
I would love to see this too and some of the dark history of MGM!
Same here. Rita Hayworth’s life was pretty sad too. James Dean had a really fucked childhood, and although his adult life wasn’t too tragic, reading about his romance with Pier Angeli was a “what the fuck” moment for me. Pier Angeli’s life too was pretty sad- she had a horrible mom.
@@jilliank6379 ikr??? rita ended up with Alzheimer's & she was manipulated by men who left her impoverished. i dont think that fame is worth all the heartache. 💔
I mean a lot of that is still done today , it didn’t die out with that era .
Yes Slo4n, you're right. Its been almost 100 years since since Judy Garland has grown up in Tinsletown and not much has changed in the Industry. They should be called out and held accountable. They have ruined countless children stars lives, and it needs to stop. When I was kid, my biggest dream was to be rich and famous, now as an adult, knowing everything that child stars have gone through, I'm so glad i never became a household name and all the horrors that go along with it.
Rip judy she was and is a legend to this day the wizard of Oz is my favorite movie ❤️
Thank you for keeping Judy’s memory alive x
She aged fast it reminds me of Lindsay Lohan I wonder what we'll find out about her life in the future
This is so sad. I was aware of some of this, but had no idea how much she went through at such a young age. It’s amazing how she stayed so elegant and graceful until her death
She had such a sad life but with respect, I can understand her children reaching a point where they wanted some space and not to take care of her. Still, it's sad they had issues (despite loving each other) and judy was so alone to the point she had to sleep on the couches of fans. I hope her last husband was a comfort to her. I'm glad her children have spoken so lovingly of her since and that she has definately achieved respect from people since her death.
Liza abandoned her mother but the only reason liza has a career is because of judy!!!
People abandoned her and after she did they all went to her funeral, give me a break.
Judy’s movies are some of my absolute favorites. Every Christmas we watch Meet Me in St. Louis and Wizard of Oz has always been a favorite.
I don't understand how they ever said she wasn't pretty enough. She was gorgeous, inside and out. Such a beautiful person. I'll never get it 💔
I don’t know why I also confuse Judy’s and Shirley’s life because there lives seemed so similar.
It does
I feel bad for childhood stars in Hollywood it's just a toxic environment 😪 😔
I feel so, so sad about Judy Garland. I've heard about her before- and everything that she went through. She still sounded, though ,that she was still on drugs when she was an adult. That is so sad. Thank you so much for describing everything in the way that you do. You are absolutely articulate in the way that you describe everything exactly as it should be. You are brilliant . Thank you. I constantly find myself at your channel. I would really like you to do one about Frances Farmer.
I actually read a biography about her when I was about 20 years old. It was so horrible what she went through. There’s so much more. Her mother would pretend to leave her when she was a child- like literally leave her in a hotel room and tell her she was leaving her only to come back a few hours later and act like it was all of a joke. She was never fully in control of her money either. It’s all insane!
Thank you for covering this tragic story! Judy's story breaks my heart.
You explain everything so well...I always look forward to a new video from you ♥
Sloan you are the sweetest young man I love your videos and your energy
So sad! Truly but she was such a fighter although for some it may not seem that way. It takes a lot to keep pushing despite everything she went through. I can only imagine! Thank you for bringing her story to light. I never knew this about her.
It’s crazy how similar her life and death is to Michael Jackson....Michael oftentimes spoke about how no one will never be able to understand what it’s like to be a child star unless if u were one yourself
I lost my dad on March last year, this channel has given since a feel of comfort and familiarity even Sloan speaks about delicate topics. Thanks a lot Sloan for giving me with your videos and the way you are some evasion and peace.
Judy Garland had the most beautiful voice this world has ever heard. ❤
It’s so sad everything she went through 🥺💖 nobody deserves that. She’s amazing and will forever be an icon.
Poor girl 🥺, she’s a icon due to wizard of oz. Absolute angel, use to crush over her. I wish her the best for her soul.
I would absolutely love a deep dive into MGM’s history
Thank you for covering this. 😢 This is heartbreaking. Yes! Please do MGM . This why body positivity is so important . 😞. People try to act like it’s all about health. But she was not healthy . They literally starved her . To make her look how “They “ wanted her to look.
SL04N, you are such a sweet UA-camr, I love the kind things you said about Judy at the end of this video. Your videos, while breaking my heart also really have opened my eyes to how abusive Hollywood is to child stars. It’s so sad. 🥺😭💔
But it’s comforting to know that just like there are horrid people in the world, there are also people like you who are kind. So, thank you for this video!
😲🥺😭 I hope she finally found happiness somewhere over that beautiful rainbow 🌈
Absolutely adore Judy, her story is so sad and has always stuck with me. Hope you do some deep dives into old Hollywood!
This Poor Child, it's a miracle she survived!! My take on this is, neither parent wanted her AT ALL, so they felt if she must be born they would use her any way they could for as long as they could and because this was so obvious to all around, they too did the same thing. She was not acknowledged as a human, she was never treated with love and empathy. I had a similar experience growing up but no where near to this degree. My heart goes out to her as it must have affected every aspect of her life till the day she died❤
Amazing storytelling Sloan, thank you for your content. Not biased, not vulgar, not forced.... keep up with any topic you're interested ❤️❤️❤️ greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻
Tragic but thank you for posting this 🙏🏽
I absolutely love Judy Garland. I watched all her movies when I was a kid.
I would love to see a video on MGM, they did so much shady stuff back in the day.
Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea how bad her life was. It’s so sad 😢 I’d be really interested in seeing more content of this kind
When I was 4 years old I first watched the wizard of oz- became my favorite movie ever! When I was 6 my mom told me the truth and told me she died from drugs- it shattered my world. Judy still is my idol because she through it all, always managed to be thankful and grateful to her fans. She had more talent in her pinky than the 'stars' of today have in their whole body!
Wow you can see the stress in Judy’s face
God bless you for this.. thank you for bringing awareness to these situations!! Someone like myself, who doesn't watch movies or much TV, would never know about these things if it wasn't for you!! THANK YOU SLO4N!!
Yes, please a deep dive into MGM!
Love you Sloan!!
I'm 59 and have loved Judy Garland since I first saw Wizard of Oz as a child. No one is a better actress/singer. I remember hearing she died on the news when I was only 6. As I got older, I read biographies about her and found out what this beautiful, supremely talented woman went through. Her life was like a Shakespean tragedy. No one should have had to go through what this poor woman did.
Love this and love Judy! I feel like this could be an entire series! An MGM deep dive would be great
Thank you for this amazing documentary. People need to know the cesspool of Hollywood and expose the producers and executives who, abuse and spit out talented individuals like they are nothing to them. Judy Garland was an amazing actress and beautiful soul. Excellent video!
Jesus Christ, she couldn't catch a break. It's so sad bc wizard of oz has always been my favorite ever since I was a baby. She brought us all SO MUCH joy and memories from that movie alone but it sounded like she never had one good or healthy minute for herself 😭 whyyyyy
Thank you for doing a segment on such a legend! I have been a fan my wine life (57 years) There will never be another Judy!
This is by far one of the best videos you've ever posted, although I do love everything you post 😁 Thanks for all your hard work to bring us this content!
Omg thanks Sloan for covering this MGM had a bad history with their stars and Judy garland is no exceptions. Her voice still breaks my heart when I hear her music 🥺👏
As a kid Judy was my absolute favorite. The wizard of oz is still one of my favorite movies. Her story has always shattered my heart. 💔 She deserved so much better!
Also I would definitely love an MGM deep dive !
Omg thank you so much for making this! Judy as Dorothy was like my ideal of beauty ♥️ So sad she went through hell and wasnt appreciated enough.
The fact that the way Judy was treated is the Hollywood Blueprint for child actors and it needs to change. Her family and MGM got too much success from abusing that poor kid like that and that’s why they were able to pull off doing shit like this to Brittany until now. This is a fairly new industry still in a lot of ways
Please deep dive MGM. There is good reason Shirley Temple signed with Fox.
I actually wish we’d of gotten a movie with Garland and Temple together. They were always made to be competition instead.
This is so sad. I would've never thought that she went through this. Thank you for making this video.
HOW DID SHE GIVE US SUCH BEAUTY GRACE AND TALENT WHILE SUFFERING THIS KIND OF ABUSE! LORD I HAD NO IDEA!
This video was well worth the wait. Thank you for creating it.
Great job telling her story!
So glad u talked about this…in my life in Philly n New York the Bronx…Sony record wanted me n my dad as a strong voice said nooooo…so I became a nurse…but I felt my dad saved my life since I’ve been hearing u talking about this…n my dad passed now cause of covid in 2020…he was my rock…n ppl still want my voice n my songs I write…but I will keep it to me now cause of ur videos n don’t want to be used
Loved this so much Sloan! Thank you for this one! ❤️ I'd love maybe a Marilyn Monroe, or Jayne Mansfield, or Lucille Ball 🌹🙏🏼
